Not angry anymore? Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri arrived today (Tuesday) for the political-security cabinet meeting - after being absent from the two previous discussions.
According to Likud sources, Deri has been invited as an 'observer' to all political-security cabinet discussions since he resigned from the government.
The ministers received the summons to the meeting two days ago.

In the previous cabinet meeting, Deri chose not to attend despite being invited, out of anger at the prime minister. Deri's entourage clarified that he never said that they would boycott the cabinet meetings.
Today's cabinet meeting is taking place against the backdrop of the security escalation: this morning, two Breslov Hasidim were moderately and lightly injured; yesterday, a 36-year-old man was moderately injured in a stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion intersection; a few hours later, terrorists fired at Kibbutz Meirav in Gilboa - and a hit was detected in a house.
The last cabinet meeting last week dealt with the Israeli response to the rocket fire from Lebanon. The ministers were unusually asked to sign a secret partnership document. Behind the scenes, during the meeting, the defense establishment clarified that according to the information they have, Hezbollah is not responsible for the rocket fire on Passover Eve at Israel.
